Wishing
Since Forever by Kiltie Jackson
Having just
finished my second Kiltie Jackson novel, I find myself utterly devastated that
this marks the end of the series. Jackson's storytelling weaves such vivid
emotional connections that I’m completely invested in the characters and their
journeys—saying goodbye feels like losing close friends. Remarkably, this book
can stand confidently on its own; I hadn’t realised it was tied to the second
in the series until I looked it up later, which speaks volumes about the
seamless narrative and depth.
When Flora’s
father moves in with his girlfriend, leaving Flora the family home, she seizes
the chance to make it truly her own. But as she clears out her father’s room,
she uncovers a hidden trove of letters and gifts from her late
grandmother—tokens of love kept out of reach. The painful discovery leaves
Flora feeling robbed of a vital bond, compelling her to escape to the Scottish
haven her grandmother left her. Meanwhile, Dr Kenneth, drawn by an advert for a
GP post near his childhood home, returns to Scotland to start anew. His initial
clash with Flora hints at sparks of tension, but as fate would have it, the
frost between them slowly thaws—until an unexpected turn of events threatens to
upend the fragile connection they’ve built.
For readers
who enjoy character-driven stories with heart, humour, magic and emotional
resonance, this is a must-read. Just be prepared to miss the characters once
the final page is turned.
